Re: Round 3 Game thread
So where was plan B . Annihilated in the first & again in the second & piss poor response in the third lets not forget we are playing an undermanned team that probably won't make the 8. Stunned by the lack of response from the coaching department. I think its going to be a long year

Re: Round 3 Game thread
Our players looked physically spent at the 5 minute mark of the first quarter. Been running through treacle. Something's up.

This is f****** pathetic
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Round 3 Game thread
Spot on, we have tried, but I feel as if teams act like they can't live without mids and we throw the lot at them but really teams can't wait to flog them off...
Hill
Hannebury
Crouch
There have been so many great mids in both the draft and trade that we couldn't access either for lack of big enough offer or lack of interest due to our recent 148 yr history (I reckon from 1897 - 1913 the lads looked quite sharp and I enjoyed the 1913 season with a tough loss to Fitzroy in the Grand Final).
We need to breed them through draft that's how we've always gotten our best mids....
Harvey
Steven
Smith
Hayes
Etc

Re: Round 3 Game thread
I just looked at my Saints membership sticker and badge. I will be posting back to club and saying when the team shows something .... you can return to me. This is insipid, embarrassing football. And I'm hurting big time. Never imagined we could be so BAD.

Re: Round 3 Game thread
At work, just checked the score.
What a shock!
Last week’s capitulation was no fluke after all.
This team is full of pretenders

Not the reason.. obviously but...
The umpiring is disgraceful
Free against Long for blocking
Hooker does exactly, EXACTLY the same thing.. not paid

Re: Round 3 Game thread
There is no defending this .
Insipid performance from a bunch of front running big heads.
We cannot carry three small forwards if they cannot be accountable.
Hill needs to be dropped. As simple as that.
Zac Jones' kicking is a liability.
Our defensive effort is completely gone. It was a strength last year. Looks like we slurped on our bathwater over summer. We look unfit. Unable to make a contest or at least unwilling.
You should be offended by this loss. Absolutely disgraceful performance and there are no excuses for it.
Essendon walked us. Completely and totally walked us. No system, no forward structure. Disposal not up to AFL standard. No urgency. No effort.
Ten tackles in a half is completely unacceptable. They were LAUGHING at us at half time. The Essendon coaches box was LAUGHING.
Every single player that took the field today needs to be on notice. Each one, to a man were repeatedly found out for lack of effort. Even #9 at times.
The softies on this forum will defend the players as usual. Blah Blah Blah. Defend the coach. Blah Blah Blah.
This is weak as piss. Absolutely unforgiveable.
We wont play finals this year.

Re: Round 3 Game thread
Peeps like.....worst season worst game ever.
Memories sloshing around of losses....
Remember....
1919 loss to South Melbourne by 171 pts
Or
Richmond smacking us by 152 pts in 1980
Or
Hawthorn flogging us by 145 pts in 2014?
I've just touched the highlights trust me....when it comes to get defiled we hold the record....
So settle please

Re: Round 3 Game thread
It looks like Ratten is not the Messiah, either is Gags by the look of the skills of some of his recruits. Some of these players wouldn't look out of place at Furrito's farm.

Re: Round 3 Game thread
maybe a 100 point loss will wake us up. really got ahead of ourselves after a strange and shortened year. i thought we'd be finishing around 10th this year. highly doubt it now.
